Motivation
A person needs to buy an iPhone/iPad in order to play with an AR drone, the only type of commercialized drones today and it is certainly expensive to do so. Using our intuitive glove-control-system, the person can enjoy the same kind of mobility without having to pay for a costly mobile device.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
The AR Drone is a camera-mounted quadrotor which can be controlled by an interface app on iOS (iPhone or iPad) Our project differs in that instead of using an expensive iPhone or iPad to control the quadrotor, we use a glove controller instead.
